The Budget proved certainly a most cheering valentine for Miss British Columbia. The Minister of Finance announced that the liquid as- _?5���������������������������_.������������������L k'ie_ Province would be sufficient within thc year to wipe out the i entire funded debt, which ut the close of the last fiscal year stood at $8,- 606,800, having decreased $238,867 from the last previous twelvemonth period. At the same time, as provision is made by sinking fund for thc redemption of the debt in due course, the Minister does not consider it good financial policy to buy back outstanding debentures, as an attempt to do so on the open market would send these securities above par and the Province would be loser by the transaction. The surplus for the fiscal year ending March, 1910, the Minister placed the Finance 'Minister notes with regret that the .

At the same time we cannot but conclude that the fact of our entering into closer commercial relations with the United States will not help this imperial program, which animates and inspires some of the greatest men of the Homeland and the Imperial overseas possessions. This bargain certainly will not strengthen them, but we have always the satisfaction of knowing ' that, current year cannot be estimated, but the Minister expects it will be quite as large as last year's, the Government having at the present time upon deposit in the various chartered banks and bearing interest, no less than $7,500,000. Hon. Mr. Ellison places the value of the productions of the representative industries of the Province during the past year at $100,742,000 divided roughly as follows: Manufactures, $35,000,000; mining, $26,183,505; tim- development of their holdings (although this was the practice in New Zealand, and was there working out well) but to adopt some such policy as that .prevailing in Germany, France and other progressive countries. In New Zealand there was but a minimum of default' on the state loans to farmers; and it was notable that no other industry was in the same position as agriculture in this province, in that all other industries enjoyed the advantage -of operating under the credit system. 6. The conditions affecting the labor market and an inquiry into the problems presented. In this connection the necessity of additional labor for thc harvesting of the fruit crop was especially emphasized. It was estimated that the fruit trees now planted in British Columbia would demand at least 12,000 men as pickers and packers when the trees come to full bearing, and one or two of the largest sawmills in the country would be required to supply the boxes for the product of the country. If ample money were available for the farmers on the long-term payment plan, it would in a large degree solve this farm labor question, and in this connection the fact, should never be lost sight of that the small farmer was the hope of thc country. 7. The effect of reciprocity on the fruit and other agricultural products of the province. 8. Immigration, and 'how best to promote it with a view to settling up the lands, and the' countries from which the.. supply of immigrants should be drawn. 9. An inquiry into thc desirability of employing compauies to undertake the settlement of lands under conditions imposed by the Government,and the nature of such conditions. 10. Agricultural education in schools, and the location of experimental stations, and rural education generally. 11. An inquiry into the quantity of land close to transportation facilities that could be made available for cultivation by clearing of trees and stumps and by irrigation. Mr. Lucas believed that if such a commission were appointed, and a systematic investigation of these questions brought about, information would be obtained which would be of the greatest use to the Department in regard to the direction of settlement; and if such a commission could solve only one or two or three of these problems, it would be of the greatest advantage to the future, of B. C. .'ENDERBY. PRESS AND WALKER'S ' WEEKLY; T OOCTORS CONDEMN OILY-LINIMENTS The Public are Warned to be Careful of These Strong-Smelling, Oily Liniments Containing Harmful Acids, Ammonia, ^tc. Many people have clung to the old- fashioned idea that a thick, greasy liniment is the best kind. Doctors say not ���������������������������and they know. Recently si "number of those white, oily liniments were'analyzed,-ami they were found to contain an enormously high ��������������������������� percentage of harmful .'acids, and such irritating chemicals' as ammonia, etc. For tlie moment they may cause' a warm sensation when first applied, but their continued use never euros rheumatism, and only deteriorates tlio ekiu, sets up inflammation and causes endless trouble. When a doctor warns you to quit using a white, oily liniment���������������������������do so, lie knows that a thick liniment can t penetrate, can't sink through the pores and reach the seat of the pain. When asked his opinion a few days ago, Dr. Eoberts stated that he considered a "strong, ponetrating, pain-subduing liniment', such as "Nerviline," to be superior to any of the white ammonia liniments. In his twenty-five years of practice he had witnessed cases of rheumatism, sciatica and lumbago that simply would not respond to ordinary treatment���������������������������but Nerviline cured them. Thc 6ame physician also spoke of the great advantages of keeping a preparation like Nerviline in the house always, because of cramps, diarrhoea, stomach disorders, earache, toothache, headache and Buch minor ailments. Nerviline is a first-class cure. There is scarcely an ache or a pain, internal or external, that Nerviline won't cure. In thousands of homes no other pain-relieving medicine is used. Fifty years' continued suecess and. the endorsement of the profession are proof that Nerviline is the liniment for the home. DEPENDING Counsel (to witness , in bandages): "Are you married?"

FIRELESS CANDY-MAKING THE requisites for this work are the best quality of pulverized sugar, white blotting-paper, a short dull knife with a good deal of spring to it, ono or more shallow saucers, a small tumbler of water, flavoring extracts, colorings (such as confectioners use), and nuts, tangerines, oranges, pineapples, or almost any fruit in season. In the way of flavorings, peppermint, wintergrecn, vanilla, essence of Jamaica ginger, cinnamon "and coriander and earaway seeds are popular favorites. Where the fresh juices of the fruits are used, the water will not be found'necessary. ... Into a saucer "put a small quantity of', sugar and moisten carefully with water or fruit-juice, stirring in drop by drop, until the mixture is of such consistency as to drop easily from the point of the knife into such shapes as one may desire on the white blotting-paper, which absorbs undue moisture. Nut-meats, candied or preserved cherries, are pressed in or laid on top of the mixture, while still moist. Chopped nuts or grated cocoanut may be mixed with the sugar and used as a filling for pitted dates or figs.

BOOKRB T.

"Malinda had never seen an art gallery before, and the nudes startled her in a way that would have endeared her to the heart of Mr, Comstock. But when sho entered the hall of sculpture then she was more than startled. " 'Land!' she said. 'Land sakes!'

'Ah like it THE impression is general among race-goers that the thoroughbred horse is of little use except for racing. If one were to- canvas the thousands who attend the meetings of the Ontario Jockey Club at Woodbine Park it is doubtful if one in fifty could be found who would say that the thoroughbred is of any account in harness, but he is, nevertheless, aud largo numbers are used daily throughout the province doing heavy work'. For instance, at Mrs. Livingstone's -Pontine stock farm, located a few miles east of Cobourg. thoroughbred mares are used to do the harvesting and light plowing with excellent results, and these mar.es have already produced winners on the turf, aud are expected to produce King's Plate winners. ._P������������������^n_J5j'ho__Tqwnship__o'f East Whitby, on the farm of=T,1rank~~Thompsoii. which is located aboiit six miles north- cast of the town of Oshawa, are several thoroughbred geldings, two of which at least have helped in no small way to make turf history.

Iu his opinion, the noted pair can out- i-'pced and outstay the heavier 'irueds, which means that they do more work on the farm. In addilion to being useful on the plow, seeder, binder, etc., Spencer I'eilV, or "Jim," as he is called, is kind in harness and can draw a democrat with half a ton load to town in short order, and he also performs thc sanctimonious duty of hauling the family to church each Sunday. What Spencer Beiff and Ben Crockett do for Mr. Thompson is also done by manv others of their breed in different sections. Not only is tho thoroughbred useful as a work horse, but as a progenitor of half-breds he is most beneficial to the country. During the past two years the National Bureau of Breeding has distributed a large number of thoroughbred stallions throughout the Dominion for the purpose of getting half-bred horses suitable for cavalry and military purposes. The object of the National Bureau is to produce remounts for the Mother Country, and in this they are sure to be successful, as a liberal patronage has been given to each of the Do not let a cold settle on your lungs.

Neglected colds are the cause of untold stallions by the owners of ordinary or cold-blood mares. According to a well-known horseman, one who has probably had more experience with thoroughbreds and standard- breds than any other man in Canada, the only real game horse is the thoroughbred. Whether he is correct in his views is a "matter of opinion. For myself, I have seen some trotters and some pacers, as well, that impressed ine as being game enough for all necessary purposes.' Ganieness is but courage, and J am free to admit the thoroughbred, as a class, to be the most courageous of any of the many breeds of horses. If.for nothiiigol.se than the courage thoy impart to their progeny, owners of ordinary mares who wish to raise general purposes horses would do well to mate such mares with thoroughbred stallions, providing, of course, the latter have individuality besides blood lines to commend the 111. # * ��������������������������� The thoroughbred stallion Martimas, owned by the Valley Farm stable at Hamilton, has rapidly come to tho front as a sire of winners on the turf, and also horses of excellent conformation. Martimas will be fifteen years old this coining spring, but the time seems short indeed since the news was flashed over the wire announcing his victory in the Futurity of 1898 at Sheepshead Bay. He is the- first and only Canadian owned horse that ever won such an important stake on the American turf, and his victory went a long way toward bringing Canada prominently beforo the horse world. Martimas was foaled in 3896, and is therefore fourteen years old. ne is a beautiful chestnut in color, and is a model in conformation. He is not a big horse in neight, as he stands but L5.2 hands, but nevertheless he is one of the made-to-order kind, and he invariably imparts his excellent qualities to his offspring. In blood lines, he comes from a winning family on eaeh side of the house, as his sire, imp. Candlemas, a son of Herinit-Fuseo (clam of St. Blaise), by Marsyas, won many important races, including������������������the Epsom Grand Prize, Boyal Stakes, Autumn Cup, etc., and his dam, Biggonet, a daughter of Bramble���������������������������Bob- inet, by Brown Dick, was good enough to (i win the-Withers Stakes at Jerome Park. Besides the Futurity, Martimas won several other important events as a two- year-old,-and finished the season with $41,140 to his credit. As a three-year-old he won the Canadian Derby' and Nautilus Stake, and the next year he won the Toronto Cup and Spencer Handicap. In his career on the turf, which'extended ovpr, a perir/cl of three years, he won $52,000, which is the laTgest amount ever won by any Canadian:, owned horse. , ACUTE DYSPEPSIA Restoration of Stomach Power Cornea Quickly With the Right Medicine "My food seemed to decompose ������������������ my stomach," writes Mr. Ralph Clem- mons, of Newbridge P.O.

This lonely old man, who might have lived in aflluenco but who chose a peasant's fare, who was fanatically devoted to liberty but lived ander the despotism of a corrupt bureau- wucy, who loved his fellow-raen and yet was contemned by his own class tend not accepted by the other, who wished for solitude and was pestered by sightseers and camera tormentors, who lived in a world of impracticable ideals of his own creation and simultaneously in a world, of intolerable .realities imposed upon him by others, who longed to be a reformer and knew not how to take the first practical step toward a real reform, finds the contradictions of his life too great any longer to be borne, and, like a wounded stag, .goes away to die in solitude. It is a pitiful ending of a tragical career. It' is exceedingly difficult, perhaps impossible, for an American to comprehend ';ount Tolstoi���������������������������difficult for an Anglo-Saxon to understand the Slav; difficult for one accustomed to measure philosophy by the question, Does it work well? to understand .the idealist who never' even considers whether his ideal could be made to work at all; dif- Icult for one born a democrat and living in a laud of free activity to understand one boru an aristocrat and living handicapped by despotic law and social contention; difficult to understand a man af different epochs, who in his later life condemned with severity as great SB that of his severest critics what he had written at earlier period; a man of different moods, who was now a social photographer and now a romancer, now a. philosopher aud now a novelist; now ���������������������������j, moral reformer and now a painter depicting with brutal frankness facts in life which tho common taste if not the <5ommon conscience of mankind leaves behind a veil; a man who combined an ��������������������������� sxtraordinary genius akin to madness with au extraordinary lack of common sense; a man who chanced on the Gospels as a new discovery and interpreted "them sometimes by an ideal of his imagination, sometimes as rules of life prescribed by an' inspired bureaucrat, '"������������������ut" never as the expression" of a free and spontaneous spiritual life; a man -who pitied men' without- respecting -them, who hated despotism but forbade his followers "to resist it, and who eould ind no better way to help the peasant population'of his country than by_ playing at their'employments; eating . of Jtfceir food, and wearing their garments: ',- For many, years -Count Tolstoi has -' "teen the foremost figure in the world of - letters���������������������������a prominence due not. only to \ his genius, but'also to his isolation, his 1 lonely apostleship, .his.-intellectual and ���������������������������oral independence,- his loyalty to -his ideals. But he has not" been*a leader. In his theory of society,' as "in his theory of religion, he went ,back to elemental, conditions.. He endeavored, to .. promote progress by going back to the past; to vre-ereate"-society by returning ���������������������������io nature; to convert'the world to the method of Jean Jacques Rousseau.. His -' "������������������3tories are .not mere pieces, of brain- work; he is more than a literary artist -writes with his instincts, his senses,'his intellect, Ms 'emotions.

And yet, despite his tremendous vital- J ity, he remains individualistic and idio-J '���������������������������_ ijyneratic; interesting as a, great dram-' atie author, inconclusive, impracticable, ineffective as a moral.reformer. Nevertheless, Count Tolstoi is more ���������������������������than an interesting personality. He has ���������������������������also been a real moral foTce. He has done more- than any other writer to make the rest pi thc world ���������������������������acquainted with Russia. No foreigner =������������������an=-8ee=-it=as=he���������������������������seee^.it ;=ji a_.natiye_ aistorical novel, Tolstoi haB given to the *orld. At the same time, even more,'effectively than Tourguoneff, he haa introduced the different sections of Russian society to each other. Nowhere in Eur- >pe, probably nowhere in the world, is the chasm between noble and peasant 40 broad and deep as in Russia. Nowhere is it so true that half the world loes not know how the other half lives. Tolstoi has enabled reading Russia to enow how illiterate Russia lives. He uas not only made such knowledge possible, he has made ignorance difficult. We doubt whether any one man has lone so much as Tolstoi to create,the uumauely revolutionary spirit in the Russian universities or more, to make possible that political revolution, the nost manifest though not the most important effect of which is the Duma. And in thus interpreting Russia to -,he world and Russia to itself he has carried a message to Russia the value of vhieh only the future can reveal. He has portrayed vice with shocking plainness; but he has not revelled in it. He has been always a moral reformer even in those writings which, judged by Anglo-Saxon standards, are immoral. He has'sometimes familiarized" his readers with an- experience better left unpor-' trayed, but he has not attracted them to it.

If ho tells somo truths that had better not be told, he tells them truthfully. Whether the reader will regard him as always moral or not will depend on tho reader's answer to the question whether the passions of mankind should be bo frankly exploited. In describing Russia to the world, Count Tolstoi has also described Russia to tho Russians. He has put an aston- iahingly truthful mirror before the Russian reader. In "Anna Karenina" he has made it possible for Russian noble aoeiety to see how/ignoble it sometimes is; in "War and Peace" he has enabled Russian militarism to see with what ���������������������������sordid and fatuous cruelty war is generally carried on.. Whether his fatalistic ���������������������������"Theory of the battlefield is true or not, his pictures are photographic in their realism.

We aro not sure that it may not prove all the more effective because it is the message of a doctrinaire. If hiB theories, of life had beoif as practical as his descriptions - of -life ���������������������������- are -realistic,-the bureaucracy would probably have silenced him. Nor is it, at all impossible that his somewhat theatrical assumption of tho garb and habit of a peasant, which in Aruorica could not have been taken seriously, may have added to the effectiveness of his message. A prophet must speak to his people iu their own 'dialect and according to their own fashion. Count Tolstoi is a Russian speaking to Russians. To forgot that is to forget the elemental fact in his picturesque career. If ho be judged by American standards, it is impossible for us to join in the chorus of indiscriminating praise which his foi lowers domand. But it is not impossible that the future, judging him as a Russian speaking to Russians, will find that his work has been made more effective by tho defects which it shares with the people and the age to which it was addressed.

There are several famous strains of Shorthorns, each known by the name of its founder, namely, the "Booth," the "Bates," and the "Cruikshank.'- The Booths derive their name from Thomas Booth, who lived at Killerby and Warlaby, in Durham, about the' end of the eighteenth century, and from his two sons, John Booth, of Killerby, and Richard Booth, of Studley, in York shire.

FEBRUARY 23. 1911 A BOLD, PROGRESSIVE POLICY The future will he what we prepare to make it. This is as true of the individual as of the Government. It would appear from the provincial estimates handed clown last week in the House, by the Hon. Price Ellison, Minister of Finance, that the indomitable premier of. British Columbia, the Hon. Richard McBride, believes fully in this principle, and that he is determined to make this the banner Province in the Dominion in more ways than one. The Government, for the next twelvemonth, will spend more than one million dollars per month. It will spend nearly half as much again as' it takes in. It will spend all of its revenue, and, in addition, take from its present surplus a few millions. The Hon. Richard McBride is the right man in the rig'ht place. He is conservative, yet bold; and he is big enough to see British Columbia as the future will make it, and he is bold enough to prepare in advance for that which' is to come. - In less capable hands, we should hear fear expressed at the' Government going so far beyond its revenue in expenditures, but the press of the Province seem to be of one mind in the matter, and only words of commendation- are spoken. The bold, progressive policy of the Premier and bis ministers inspires confidence, and makes for the upbuilding of the Province as a whole, and every individual business enterprise in the Province. It" speaks volumes * for British C6- v lumbia that conditions are such as to make such a policy,possible.of fulfillment, and for the men who have brought such conditions about. - MUST COMPLY WITH LAW pt^ CD- ENDERBY BRICK THE BEST BRICK IN THE PROVINCE.

Enderby Printing that Counts You can have it done reasonably and well at Walker Press One feature of the Provincial liquor law which, has been somewhat of a dead letter insofar as its enforcement in the coast cities in concerned, is that prohibiting the sale or gift of intoxicants of any sort to minors���������������������������a minor being distinctly and specifically defined as any person under the age of 21. -No one' in touch with conditions as they are in the cities, can be unaware that this provincial prohibition is' seldom given a thought by barmen, unless the extreme youth of the prospective customer is obvious; or that many girls under the age of 21 are daily served with liquors in the -restaurants=and^=^nev.er=a=,question_ raised as to the age ��������������������������� of the fair applicant for a cocktail or a glass of beer or wine. It is understood that steps have quietly been taken of late to emphasize that the law as enacted is meant to be obeyed, and carelessness in his dealings in this particular feature of the law may mean the payment of heavy money penalties by the thoughtless licensee, or else the loss of his license. Thc trade cannot deny that fair and ample warning has been given, and it will be well for licensees throughout the province to remember that any sale or gift of liquor to a minor in British Columbia is distinctly an infraction of the law ���������������������������that a minor is any person under the age of 21���������������������������and that the burden of proof under this act, is always upon the person accused thereunder. ing tribe had to get granite stones. It so happened that one day on soft ica Stonewall took a running shot, which "wabbled," and, hitting thc shot on the edge, a piece was chipped out of his stone. Of course, no one was to blame but Stonewall 'himself. So, as nobody was buying him a new pair, he had the stone with the piece out of the side cut down to about ,half size���������������������������the stones at that time were flat, regular pancakes, and wide. After that, whenever Stonewall had a narrow port to run he would use his small stone, which was a great advantage, as it would go through a hole half the size the regular stone would require, and saved fnany a game for him, 'tis said. SEED PRICES. RECIPROCITY CONTROVERSY Montreal, Feb. 20.���������������������������Special" correspondence.���������������������������The reciprocity controversy is now in full swing through the land. Prom the Atlantic to the Pacific is it the chief topic of discussion, not only to the north but to the south of the international border, arid the question has even invaded the legislative halls of Great Britain. No doubt the storm will continue to rage around this bone of contention for some weeks yet, and not until the matter is decided by the Canadian Parliament and the American Congress one way or the other will it let up. Deputations are heading for Ottawa to oppose the agreement while those who agree are very little heard from. One of the weightiest pronouncements against the agreement was made by the Montreal Board of Trade ���������������������������an organization which -generally gives the cue to similar bodies, at least in Eastern Canada. Yet this pronouncement iwas by no means unanimous. While - Montreal is the king pin - of the protected interests and shouts loudest when vested, interests are in- danger, there are yet many able men who do not see. eye to eye with their business brethren and do not hesitate to say so.

HOW TO MAKE A PORT Anyone interested in curling will he pleased to hear how one Stonewall Jackson, a braw Scot, of Orillia town away back in '73, used to make a narrow port. In connection with the importation of the first curling (granite) stones into the town of Orillia, back in 1873, a writer in the Canadian Courier tells a rather good story. Stonewall Jackson was the proud possessor of the first pair of granite stones. Up to this time the old-fashioned wooden stones were in use. Stonewall' Jackson used his granite stones against the wooden blocks, and the blocks were knocked all over the ice.

McQuarrie returned ��������������������������� last week from Victoria, where he was in attendance at the Directors' meeting of the B. C. Dairymen's Association.' Mr. McQuarrie reports a very interesting meeting, and the best of feeling prevailing throughout the province in relation to the dairy business generally. Considerable discussion took place upon the suggestion of dividing up the dairy farm competition,, and it was decided that the division be made as follows: Small dairies, those having five to fifteen cows milking; large ^dairies, all over fifteen milking. This division to stand for the Association year 1911, and that a smaller cup be given with medals to the small dairies. It was decided that the time of entrance for both of the competitions be extended to May 1st, 1911. Discussion then followed as to the number of times the dairies should be judged. The great expense of doing this work in this province was considered. In view of this it was decided that there be but two inspections each year, one in summer, and one in winter;, summer to'1 mean from May 15th to .July 1st, and winter to mean from November 15th ��������������������������� to December 31st. Mr. P. Bishop, Mr. A. H. Menzies, Mr. W. E. Buckingnam and the secretary of the Association, were named as judges to make the inspections, and the matter of when these inspections shall take place was left at the option of the judges. General discussion then followed as to methods' of increasing the membership. It was pointed out by' the Deputy Minister.that the Association .was not as strong .'as it^sbiould.be considering' the, industry"it repress seated. Several methods were .discussed, and it was .finally "decided to supply-each- director ;with membership tickets, and they be instructed to canvass-their respective districts and make returns .to the' secretary at the 1st of each month.'" '-"���������������������������'��������������������������� ' It was decided to give, three prizes for the best all-round milkers at some of the autumn shows , "the prizes to be, 1st, $10,- 2nd, ?5; 3rd, $2.50; the prizes to" be --given at' Victoria, and New, Westminster "fairs.//, .,������������������������������������������������������:/,. > - *-', The,"matter of tubercular "cattle coming to the fairs, and- methods whereby sound herds could' be kept from infection, was discussed at some length, and it was finally decided that the - Association recommend to the various agricultural fair associations that they restrict their cattle prizes to animals that have a certificate of tuberculin - test of less than twelve months standing from a government veterinary official! ' In the_eyent_ofjtheir_npt, deeming,it ad- cent of the freight charges upon applying and producing receipts to the secretary, on - all registered dairy stock imported to the province, and fifty per cent under the same regulations and on the same class of stock if sold within the province by one member to another. It was decided that the Association would confine itself to recognized breeds and to meet the stock breeders half on the dual purpose breeds. A committe consisting of Messrs. Wells, Buckingham and Page, was appointed with powers to act with the Railway Commission, if necessary; the said committee, to take up the irregularities of handling cans, cases, etc., as well as charges. Messrs. McQuarrie and ���������������������������Holliday were appointed to ' assist the committee in dealing with Upper Country conditions.

D.C.L., M.A., M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., and senior physician to the Lady Margaret Hospital of Bromley, Eng., writes thc Order of the Golden Age, a valuable paper on the cause and cure of appendicitis. Primarily he places the blame on the fact that man is eating too much meat, and too little fruit. ' r \ "Appendicitis is caused by foul and dirty intestines," he says. "Wash them clean, and i the risk of the disease,is practically gone. "I have shown how by eating a mixed diet of flesh foods and foods from the vegetable kingdom, the great channel v of nutrition , of the body becomes a cesspool of stagnating dangers. .

The subject of giving special prizes for dairy stock at the fall shows, was brought up by the reading of a letter from "Armstrong" requesting" that- the amount given last year at Vernon, be transferred to Armstrong. Mr.. Hol- liday from Salmon Arm also put in a plea for his district. It was decided to appropriate $600 to be given as special prizes at the fairs, the regulating and deciding' of places being left to the executive. The subject of keeping yearly production of feed records was taken up. The advantages of this line of work were dealt with by almost every member present, and each favored tho Association assisting in this important work. Dr. S. -F. Tolmie spoke of the work the Dominion Government was doing and stated that he did not see anything to prevent his Department from co-operating for the mutual good of the dairymen of British Columbia. It was decided that the Association would give a silver cup. to the cow of each breed, i.e., Jersey, Holstein-Priesian, Guernsey and Ayrshire, giving the best performance under the rules of the yearly record of merit of the Dominion Government. Details to be left to be arranged by the executive and Dr. Tolmie. It was decided that the Association pay to its members twenty-five per Uniform Grades.

VI.���������������������������Continued. Aa the detective arrived iu front of cne college building he hoard footsteps approaching from the opposite direction. They w.ore accompanied by a uiuf ��������������������������� fled, rumbling sound for which he was at a Icas to account. Hastily extinguishing his cigar, he.slipped behind a tree *o aAroid being; dU^ovexed-and to await developments.. Tho footsteps came nearer. Peering out from, behind the tree t������������������e could see in the gloom the hazy outlines of four figures. One of thorn was trundling what the detective concluded to be a wheelbarrow. "Laborers, 1 guess," said Sullivan to himself, "doing some work around tho college, B-ut why don't they have a light?" He strained his eyes and ears, but could eeo or hear nothing further. The figures approached nearer, and in another moment would have passed the tree behind which he stood. He drew back to permit thorn to pass without .liscovering him, resolving to follow them at a safe distance. , But to his aurprise they did not paBs him, and the rumbling of the wheelbarrow suddenly ieased. Sullivan cautiously leaned out from his hiding-place. The men were hidden in the shadow of the building, but he could hear them in whispered fonfereuce, though they were too far off for him to .distinguish their words. ���������������������������'���������������������������'Students up to some devilment, I bet," thought he, and was about to retreat down the hill lest thoy should find him lurking there aud give the alarm. But he altered his mind .when one of the group lighted a match aud proceeded to iguite a cigar, for a moment throwing a red glare on the faces of all four meu. Instead af atudents, they wero full-grown, dignified-looking persons, at- least' one af them with grizzled hair and beard. "Idiot!" oue of them exclaimed, and the match was immediately extinguish- 3d; but the detective had already observed, not only that the men were not college students, but that they were in their shirt-sleeves,.and, judging by..the fact that two of them wore mopping their brows, had beou engaged in somo sort of manual labor. The wheelbarrow aIso indicated this. One of tiiem nest wheeled tho barrow around to the side cf the building and rhen rejoined his ' companions. After this the foar of them walked hastily in - - the direction, of-the village." As they passed the tree that concealed Detective Sullivan, he heard- one of them say: ! "We will separate -when we get to the foot of' the. hill, lt would not do ��������������������������� foT us to walk through the village together." - t. Quick to makes up his mind, Sullivan decided that ha would gain nothing by following oue af the group, all af whom he eould recognizo if he could see them igain. Better' to inspect tho wheelbarrow, whose location he thought he knew, and see if the men had been up to any mischief around the college. So ho -raited until they had passed down the bill and out o.f hearing. Then, reasonably sure that the coast was clear, ho made his way to tho corner of the building, where ho expected to find the wheelbarrow. 'It was there, and i-i it lay a spade. Hie felt the surface ol' tho barrow and found it dry and clean, but tho apade gave evidence to tho touch oi: having been recently used. "It's dirt!" said Sullivan, under his breath. ''Tkc-y-'ve been burying something." He. flashed his little pocket _���������������������������ileutj.ic Jjght on tho_spado, and was astonished to "fi^"thal"^lia'rlre"~hira_taken- ^or dirt was sawdust. ''That's funny! " he said, and scraped off what sawdust ulhered to tne spade, perhaps hali a handful, .md put it in hie pocket. Now be almost regretted not having followed the four mou who had used tho wheelbarrow, ft was too late, .however; tho next best thing was to get into tho college building. "Anyway," he said to himself, by - Fa-, -<������������������f- rfolaca,-.r-J..'-in. not .supposed to be'riuuiin' doiru anything but Hop- 'ciiia." ]|i������������������ fully expected to find the front ���������������������������ioor of the college building locked, and was [>r..j,������������������ rod to climb in a window; but -,h<> i!'j<>r frwuug obligingly open at his Irst touch. Uo stepped carefully in- i'u\o, and wailed, the conditiou of the loor making him afraid that there might be ���������������������������<��������������������������� night watchman on hand.V Hearing nothing, ho located the stairs and, iii tlif durkneKR, felt liisway to tho door )f th'' laboratory. Flashing his_ light jiico ri'ore, bis eye caught a notice of jome :'<.������������������rt pinned to the laboratory door. At th" rink of his light attracting attention, he examined the note carefully. It said: " Professor Hopkins has been called )ut of town unexpectedly." IT-ibit, chance or good luck led him ;o investigate more fully. He passed 3ts finirer lightly ovor the writing. Tho Ink w.ih still damp, shewing that the no- ���������������������������i<!i������������������ could not have been written more than -i few minutes before. ���������������������������'That'll quoor, mighty queert" said iulliv:.r. to himpclf.

Or'elHo he has oeen, inside of a mighty few iruuutoi. [Ml see." lie put out his light again and atoop- id to look through the keyhole of the laboratory door, to discover if there was k light in the door, ft was dark. He itpeiied the door cautiously. Ho would- mrvey of the room, after he had pull- xl down the inside curtains, thus sinit- .ing in all light from his little "flash," :ouviuced him that he was alone. The cupboard came within rauge of lie diminutive searchlight. The doors vere open, and on the upper shelf he ���������������������������aw what he instantly recognized as the /lack bag of which Mrs. Hopkins had >pokeu. He emptied its contents' lin- oreiuouiously on the lloor. (Quickly he an through the crumpled papers, and hrust them in his pocket for future re- ereuce. Noue of them looked at all suspicious except tho note from Erueeta, the couteuts of which Mrs. Hopkins had retailed to him. This he added to his collection, and put tho bag back in its place. "She said he always carried this with him wherever ho wcut,'' said Sullivan, as ho put the bag on the shelf in tho cupboard. "Well, this ia one time he didn't. Hello! What's this?" It was a large notebook lying beside the bag. As he turned its pages, he saw that it was a sort of diary kept by Professor Hopkins, and to his surprise thc writing in it was not at all like that of the note on the laboratory door. "Aha!" said Sullivan, "If Hopkins didn 't write that note, he must have told somebody he was going away, and got them to do it for him. Now, who?" He was about to close the notebook when his eye suddenly caught the last entry made in it: "Monday, May 18���������������������������At lautl'' "Why, that's today!" exclaimed the detective aloud. Then, eagerly, ho ran back over the preceding pages for some clue to this last remark. He found it entered on the Friday previous: "Ernesta is ready to go," was the sentence. Sullivan coutinued his search, and on a page still further-back he found: "Everything is working out satisfactorily, lmagino that my fears regarding Gordon wore groundless. Ho knowe uothing, f. am sure." Sullivan was jubilant. "I guess Mrs, Hopkins was right," ho said to himself. "He was certainly planning to run away with the girl, aud was afraid Professor Gordon smolled a rat. Cagey old scoun dre-1, all right! But he'll have to bo cagier than that to keep me from landing him." ������������������ Cause and Cure of Rheumatism Due to Imparities in the Blood���������������������������Cured Toy Dr. Williams' Pink . PilLa Tho most noticeable and immediate result of rheumatism is a marked thiu- uing of the blood, and in no disease does it develop moro rapidly., Not ouly does the blood become weak but it ia soon filled with impurities, which the different organs of the body havo been unable to throw off. One of the most harmful of thoso impurities is uric acid, which is formod from tho waste products of the body. ��������������������������� In health it is readily passod off by tho kidneys with the help of oxygen from tlio red-corpuscles of the blood. Without oxygen the kidneys aro unable to rid the system of this acid aud it is retained by the?1 blood and distributed to all parts of tho body. The weak back, paius across- the kidiioys aud thin scanty, highly colored Becre- tious which follow, show that the acid if) already in the blood and often leads the sufferor to think he has kidney Jjrouble^ If the disease ia not "driven ouT'lJf"the^biob"dr1"*'heumatisnr can never be cured, and the eufferor will always be subject to attacks, whenever exposed to damp or cold. With each returning attacK tho pain becomes more severe and complications often arise making necessary the uso of habit forming drugs to relievo pain. It is readily seen that tho ouly way to cure rheumatism is through thc blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills afford such..a,.troatraci.it, as they contain all tho olomouLa necessary to" build"up and purify the blood. They increase its oxygen carrying capacity onabling tlio kidneys to pass tho uric acid from tho body and the other orgaim to do their work. Thus rheumatism is reached at its root aud permanently cured. Or. Williams' Pink Pills aro absolutely free from all habit-forming drugs, and are not an '.experiment, as tho following case will show:���������������������������Mr. W. Studley Lewis, Pilot Mouud, Man., says:���������������������������"I am a firm believer iu Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and always keep some by me iu case of need. A few years ago while teaching school I suffered ho much with rheumatism iu my anus and shoulders, that I had the greatest difficulty in writing on the blackboard, and after trying a number of remedies without bonefit, I was almost in. despair, and felt inclined to abandon teaching. But one day I happened to pick up one of'Dr. .Williams' almanacs, aud read of the cure of. a number of severe cases of rheumatism through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. This decided mo to give the Pills the professor had gone; but he found absolutely nothing, and decided, finally, that* he might as well go back to the hotel and get a night's rest, after tabulating his work for the evening. As he let himself out of the college door he was reminded of the wheelbarrow incident. Grown boldor now, he did not hesitate to examine the ground with his pocket-light, aud was able to see the tracks made by the barrow and the four men, clearly. He gathered that the men had taken the wheelbarrow from its place at the side of the building, and brought it to the foot of the steps, where, very Likely, they had put something heavy in it; for while the tracks from the ban-ow's resting-place to the steps were hardly discernible, where they turned to the left they cut deep into tho soft ground. What had these men, at this hour of the night, been doing? "Anything's a detective's business," said Sullivan to himself. "I might as well follow the tracks and see what thev lead to." With his pocket-lamp picking out the direction the wheelbarrow had takou, he investigated. Prom close observation of the footflteps he decided that one man had walked ahead, one wheeled the barrow and the other two walkod on either side to steady it. "Must havo been- something pretty heavy," he commented. "If old Hopkins had been murdered, now, instead of skipping out, I eould easily bolieve that these wero the four murderers carrying the bady away to bury it. I'm almost sorry this ain't a murder; this would be such a good start for0it." He followed tho tracks along the road that led away from tho village. Presently they turned into a wood-covered path, whore all trace of them was lost. Sullivan stumbled on along this path until it brought him into a dense thicket. His little light, to make things worse, went out, the battery having become exhausted. He tripped on a projecting root and nearly foil. Now ho decided that it was useless to try to follow the trail further, and started to retrace his ate pa. - Suddenly he stopped, and a smothered exclamation escaped him. The dense darkness ahead was piercod by a tiny ueedlo of light. Ho thought that it came from behind him, and turned,- with his arm raised to ward off any sudden blow that might be struck him over his shoulder. ' Thore. waa nobody there. " He smiled. "My pocket-flash must have coma to life again," he said; but it was not that. Tho light eame from the big diamond ho wore in his tie. Like a miniature beaec-n this jewel���������������������������a present from a grateful client���������������������������cast a glaring shaft of light far into, the darkness. It was a light far more brilliant than any the detective had seen before. It seemed to go through things, iustead of illuminating objocts with which it came in contact. It -was, in short, a ghostly light. Au uncanny feeiing came over Sullivan. He placed his hand over the diamond, but tho light came through his fingers, only now, instead of pointing out in a Bixglc ray, it was diffused. He could almost feel it burn his fingers, and withdrew thom hurriedly. Bushing for tho open road, he lost the path and stumbled blindly through tho thicket, finally emerging a hundred yards from where he had entered. Ah ho came into tho opeu, the light of the diamond scorned gradually to fade. By the time ho had reached the hotel it had entirely disappeared. any of you a suggestion? "What's going to be done?" "I don't know," faltered the luckless Snyder, whose Unfortunate spying had caused the whole affair. "Didn't Dr. Fischer suggest some sort of story we were to tell to account for Professor Hopkins'untimely death?" "No story would go about a body like dot von,' said Fischer. "Ve could not explain it." ,v "Dr. Fischer is quite right," said Rice. "How could we account for the luminosity of the body? We could not, and an investigation would naturally follow. Our presence in the building at this hour���������������������������and we have yet to explain it at our homes���������������������������-is known to the scrub woman. Perhaps our trip over the roof and down tho skylight would come out. Do you see the position in which we would find ourselves? No, gentlemen, the body must not be found in tho college building?" This startling suggestion acused a commotion. "I don't quite understand," said Gordon. "It's plain enougii," said Eice. "Tho scrub woman has seen the light that emanates, I don't profess to know why, from Professor Hopkins' body. If it comes out that the body was in the cupboard, at the time, and that we tried to deceive the Bcrub woman, won't they want to know what our reasons weref And if they do, who's going to give them a satisfactory explanation?" "Dor only course," said Fischer, "is vat Rice suggests. Get der body out of der building nrst, und hide it until der peculiar light has left it���������������������������if it should leave it at all. After dat���������������������������veil, ve cannot see vat vill happen, but it vill be better for us, anyway." "Where shall we hide it?" asked Snyder. "There is the woods back of the college," said Rice. They wero ready to accept any suggestion now. They rose, when Rice rose, and left Snyder's room. Rice led the procession toward the laboratory once more. With trembling hands he unlocked the door and let them in, forgetting to fasten the lock after them. The whole room was now completely filled with the whitish glare. The body had evidently grown even more luminous, for the cupboard doors glowed as if there was a. raging fire behind them and they were of translucent glass iustead of thick oak. When exposed to thoir view Hopkin's whole body looked like a human jack-o' lantern. They recoiled from it in horror. will be exhausted much' ������������������ sooner than that, unless some profitable substitute is found for anthracite. As to bituminous coal in the United States, the supply is very great ana) wide-spread. It is estimated that it will last something Iobb than four hundred and fifty years. Not so long ago Great Britain had " in sight,'' so to speak, although it was all below the ground, an available coal deposite of nearly one hundred and forty-five billions of tons. At the rate of production and consumption then prevailing, this supply would hut for about nine hundred years. The coal measures of Lancashire are eight thousand feet in thickness! Moreover, there are many countries which possess coal deposits that have never been touched. Besides the great coal-fields of 'Europe':-and America m now workod, there are undoubtedly coal deposits in China, in the Philli- pinoe, in Australia, in South America, in Alaska, in the Indian archipelaga, and elsewhere. Of one circumstance the Amerieao poople, looking at the matter from the consumer's standpoint, may well be glad. Europo does not want the anthracite coal���������������������������the best fuel, on the whole, that the earth has produced. Europe does uot understand the use of anthracite, and apparently is uot willing to learn it. It calls on us for bituminous coal, which we can spare more readily. The assumption that thc coal-fielda af Great Britain and America will be exhausted, even at the end of several centuries, is founded on the further assumption that heat will continue to be made and power generated, iu the future, much as now. But our inventor* and chemists hold out the assuranev that great changes may be looked for iu thc methods of producing heat and mechanical energy.

He gave the laboratory a thorough overhauling in search of anything else that might indicate where Ernesta aud CHAPTER VEL Tho Problem of the Four The four men -whose strange -actions had led the detective to follow tho trail of tho wheelbarrow with such surprising results, were Professors Snyder, Rice, Gordon and Fischer. Thoir course of procoduro after the scrub-woman'a shrieks had drawn them iu terror to tho laboratory to find Hopkins' body iu its tcrriblo, luminous condition, had been erratic, to say the least, and not at all the lino of action ordiu arily followed by a quartette of deliberate college profeesors. But it must.'bo remembered that thoir nerves were on ragged edge, so, when thoy reassembled in Snyder's room, there was not one among them capable of careful reasoning. For several minutes thoy were silent: Snyder with a hopeless stare; Rice with knitted brows, striving to collect his shattered wiks sufficiently to form the first equation necessary to the solution of the problem; Gordon shaken by many disquieting suspicions, and Fischer white with rage at himself and the others who had drawn him into this situation. On one point their minds were working in concert. It would never do to lot Mrs. Hopkins and hor husband's body in its present condition. Rico, as usual, took the lead. Turning suddenly to his silent confreres, he de- mandod: "Well, are you going to sit here all night like a trio of sphinxoR? Haven't worse. It may set fire to tho college, ft may���������������������������who knows what' it may do? We, niUBt lose no time. But how shall we get it away?" "There is- a' wheelbarrow outside,." said Gordon. "The gardener left it there to-day." ' '.,"., "Get it," eaid Rice, with grim desperation, "we will carry it dowu to the front 'door." "Like���������������������������like that?" stammered Gordon. "No," said Fischer, "ve must wrap it up in something." Rice came to the rescue. In a closet in the inner laboratory he found several large sheets of blue-print paper. With these thoy made an ungainly bundle of Professor Hopkins, and tied him with strings.'- Sheet after sheet they wrapped about the body, trying to shut in all traces of the radiance, but itlnsisted ou stealing out between cracks and folds iu the paper. "That's tho best we can do," said Rice, at last. "Now come." They lifted it carefully and carried it down to tho waiting vehicle. The curious light still streamed from the bundle, making a nimbus easily perceptible several yards away. In despair Rice gazed on thc thing as it lay in the wheelbarrow and they started, Rice ahead aud Gordon and Fischer walking on either side to steady the wheelbarrow. With a feeling of great relief thoy ended thoghoTt journey in the open and found~thcmselves a'rth^^"ii"tra"n*ce=bf- the woods. Not till they had reached this point did Snyder dare rest his limp muscles. He set the barrow down and stopped to take breath. "Where Bhall we bury it?" whispered he. "Bury it! Preposterous!" said Rice. "A suicide does not attend to his own interment! Wo must hide it." "I know der place," said Fischer. "Dor.old ice-house.by Brindler's.pond." They were all familiar with the spot. The ice-house now in a dilapidated state after many years of disuse, reposed on the edge of a pemd at the other end of the littlo patch of woods. The path could be found only by ono familiar with it. Fischer etumblod once or twice after thoy had resumed their march, and Gordon took the lead. He sighed. Memories connected with this path, locally known ae "Lovers' Walk," crowded his thoughts and gave him exquisite agony of mind. The ice-house reached, thoy lifted their burden from the wheelbarrow and carried it iusnde. Rice lit a match to help them see the iutorior of the place, and before it had died ont they had deposited the bundle in a corner of the building, on the floor just over the edge of the pond. They heaped some boards which they found in the floor over it, and with a spade threw some loose sawdust on the heap. (To be contlrmed) DOUBLE PURPOSE CATTLH THE advantages of cross breediag cattle in order to combine in the offspring some special quality which one of the breeds possesses in a marked degree-, and the other does not, and vice versa, is usually the basis cf these experiments. "Thus we observe the present-day advocacy of the cross breeding of the Scotch tligh- land cattle onto tho Shorthorn sad other popular beef breeds, with a view of securing a type ot class of cattle" that will be better fitted to stand exposure aud starvation conditions on the the E*W western range, and also improve beef quality of the present cattle in use. ���������������������������This system of acquiring the streng, special characteristics of two breeds in one has been pretty thoroughly tried out in the crossing of. the beef aad dairy breeds .to get a good, all-purpos* animal. These experiments-of creating a dual purpose animal .from the cross-, ing of distinct breeds'of beef, and dairy cattle, has failed 'and'has-proven unsatisfactory. Tho breeding of milk ot beef quality into the beef breeds, the intensifying of eithor of these qualities in the animals at the sacrifice, of the other, has not been a failure. , .It has been established by breeders of beef breeds of cattle that the" milk-, ing quality, or tendency in a herd of Shorthorns, ' Herefords, or other breed may be greatly increased by selection; or, on the other hand, the beef quality, of the animal may be -increased and the" milking quality decreased by selectioa., In other words, the carrying forward of these two properties in tho same a������������������i- mal does uot prevail. The idea of cross-bred cattle for dairy purposes is not a new one, and has to some extent boon practised for yearn by those who are engaged in the production of milk aud butler.

THE WORLD' S COAL SUPPLY THE subject of an exhaustion of the coal-supply in the Uuited States is not one that can affect the present generation or the next. Yet the American supply is likely to be exhausted before that of Europe, and particularly before that of Great Britain. America should, beyond doubt be saving of her coal. It. has been estimated that Pennsylvania has about enough anthracite coal to last, at tho rate of production that nrevails now, a little less than two hundred years. Probably the supply A VERY common trouble in the or dinary dairy is to find an animal, with the point, of the teat closed, either duo to a bruise of the teat itself, or to infection of the milk duet- which causes a little scab to form over the point of the teat, and unless this ip properly handled with care and cleanliness, the infection is apt to cause a loss of tho i.-ntire quarter. The proper manner in which to handle and treat such cases is to thoroughly wash tho teat in an antiseptic solution., then dip a- teat plug into a healing ointment and insert if; into the point of tho teat, allowing same to remain from one milking to another. In this manner closure of the point of the teats can be ovorcome in a very simple and satifl factory manner. ;' Never use a milking tube if it oft������������������ possibly be avoided, as there is much danger of infecting the entire quarter by the use of the tube, 71 Q ralcbly alopa coodb*. car������������������������������������ colds, tv th* thtMi and lamia. ��������������������������� ��������������������������� aa ENDERBY PRESS AND WALKER'S WEEKLY & ONTAINS ALU ������������������s ������������������ gWH���������������������������nrr.l Magic ���������������������������stum MAGIC BAKING POWDER IS THE FAVORITE AND COBS NO RWE THAN IHE WmiABYKMDS E.W. GILLETT CO. LTD. TO RONTON FASHIONS AND FANCIES EVERY one was getting a bit tired of embroidery bestowed helter-skelter, and when designer's' came in with the frothy models gay with bead work at the first of the Mason they, received rapturous greeting. To be sure, the aest popular blouse of the day is really two waists, one under ihe other, and material and work are increased if not doubled. But quantities of fabric and lavish work do not seem to be regarded seriously in these days of riotous extravagance, and tf tbe dressmaker insists on three gowns for one, her client Blue Gown with Bauds of Sealskin ���������������������������urrenders. So a little matter of two waists is a matter of little moment. The most used suit waist is chiffon with more ���������������������������r less elaborate bead work. It is put over either plain or Persian silk. It is surprising how the vogue for Persian effects holds on. Chiffon over-waists with Persian foundations were here last year at this time, and they seem to be little hurt by the extensive use to which they have been put dur- ii.g the intervening months. The Persian gauzes and silks kave improved much in colors and the ways they are applied ������������������ince they first came in. One of the innovations is the use of pastel and even dead tones with the designs and color .combinations which characterize so-called Persian patterns. And the result in the best instances is really all that could ���������������������������e desired. But the bead work is, of all the trimmings, the most generally popular. The wood beads, wonderfully light in weight whatever their size, and dull of finish, are the newest and most effective in many cases. In an over- f/aist seen only this week���������������������������it was made of black chiffon��������������������������� there was a plain round necklace of these wooden beads in dull blue alternating with old red. The low-cut neck of the fraist was embroidered with little beads in American Indian aCect. One of the smart possibilities and a practical one is hand embroidered crepe de chine and a Japanese silk Cttern waist that come in beautiful designs and that may eolored at small expense to match any suit. Such a vaist is always in order for the walking tailor-made, and the ulk wears well, as a rule. ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� All sorts of odd freaks are cropping out in the. milli- lery salon. One of the smart shapes seen only yesterday��������������������������� i big mushroom���������������������������had the wide brim covered with finely diiTred black tulle over gold tissue. The tulle was shirred iver tiny cords at the edge and around th������������������ .middle of the ���������������������������mm. Around the crown there were swirled five or six -,awny cream feathers that .completely hid it. Another hat��������������������������� i toque���������������������������had a brown silk crown draped very high and full md a wide moleskin brim. Lace frills, black ehantilly over vhite, fell below the fur. Another hat���������������������������a big shape���������������������������had for ts boIp and only trimming a double bow knot of the yellow and black fitch' furl Some of the Prenchiest little fur sets are being turned out by fashionable tailors to go with suits made by them. And there is a suggestion in these blends of cloth and fur for the girl with limited means and old fur that she can convert into up-to date trimmings. Not an inch of fur ought to be allowed to go to waste this season while furs are bo much used for garnishing everything but actual underclothes. The newest and most bizarre hat, neckpiece,and muff sets are being made of brocade and fur. These, of course, are all more or less whimsical and te be sightly must be original'and savor of the picturesque. # # ��������������������������� There are perfumes and perfumes, and many of them are highly successful from a business point of view���������������������������which to the particular woman is just the trouble���������������������������everybody soon uses them, and their day of exclusiveness is over. But a new one has just been imported from Russia that in my opinion justifies all that can be said of it, and so^far it is certainly quite uncommon. I think it is bound to be a success, for it is just exclusive enough in its fragrance to "attract, and positive enough to hold one's attention; besides it isn't at all eheap, which is a blessing in disguise, for while a bottle lasts one a long time���������������������������due to its "strength���������������������������the price will keep it irom becoming common, I hope." All of the toilet accessories���������������������������eau de toilette, soaps, powders;, a wonderfully lasting sachet, bath salts, etc., are also supplied in Jthe same .odor, and I feel sure that it's refined delicacy will make a place for it. If it were not for the trimmings of dinner and evening gowns they would be unsightly in the extreme. The silks, slltins, nets, lace's, passementeries of gold and silver, are beautiful���������������������������provided the motives of the latter are not too heavy. "But it is,the"cut as well as the way such garments are "made that-cause them to look" like the venerable Mother Sealskin Coat Hubbard wrapper. There is not the least shape to them. And then over the whole yards and yards of mousseline or net are made to depend. Those, in turn, are caught somewhere on the hem, and at each step the drapery bobs in. A whimsical little suit of satin cloth, the kind with a wool back, had an odd, long straight tunic of the satin over a velvet skirt. The coat had a bolero-shaped upper part whieh was of satin, with a perfectly straight undercoat that came just below the waistline of velvet. The latter hung perfectly straight and plain with square corners. Fur edged the bolero and its "V front, and the bottoms of the three-quarter sleeves. A stunning velvet gown trimmed with bands of aBtrakhan had the bands falling against wider bands of black chiffon, embroidered closely with little apaque white beads. These little white beads are used not only on gowns, but on waists. A handsome black coat and skirt suit has a waist of black chiffon, and the entire front of the waist is embroidered with the white beads.* The beads are used on cloth, and even on velvet. Beaded trimmings of the kind come by the yard with chiffon net or silk background in black or colors. The square collars of sailor style are being used on all sorts of eoatu, and they are often bordered with fur. The addition of such 8 collar with the fur edge often brings up to date a passe garment left over from a former season. MAKING SOFT CHEESE ON IHE FABM SOME years ago, it was the privilege of the writer to visit a small dairy on Vancouver Island, where tbe owner was exploiting a small enterprise of his own, in the manufacture of a soft, mild, whole-milk cheese. This cheese has proven so popular that he has built up a profitable business in the western market, especially with the club, hotel, and other fancy trade. The price realized was a very handsome one, the maker getting twenty-five cents pei pound for bis goods, along with a de- maud that easily handled all he could supply. Another instance of a somewhat similar kind is to be found on the farm of one of the largest Holstein breeders in Ontario, who manufactures a somewhat soft and mild cheese, whieh has proven so popular that he has a market almost exclusively his own and at a priee considerably above the regular quotations lor ordinary faetory product. There is no doubt but that Canadian taste in cheese runs pretty strongly in this direction, and there is a good substantial market awaiting every sueeces- ful effort to supply it. In view of this fact, Bulletin 25, issued by the Dairy Cold Storage Commissioner of the Department of Agriculture, at Ottawa, should be of interest to many. The bulletin' deals with the business- of manufacturing soft cheese, and *isr compiled by Janet McNaughton, N.D.D., instructor of Home Dairying at Maedon- ald College, P.Q. Tbe making of soft eheese is profitable, and there is good return for both milk and labor, as is shown by the following estimate: ��������������������������� > 1 gal. milk, retail average priee 25e 1 gal. milk, wholesale av. price. 20c 1 gal. milk, yielding 1 lb. Cheddar cheese (retail priee).... 18* 1 gal. milk, yielding % lb. of butter (a generous estimate) 12c' 1 gal. milk, 2 lb. soft cheese - (15e each) 30e ' Tbe cheese is ready for the market in one week, and this means little storage room, and speedy returns. The proeess of making it is not difficult. Any clean room with good ventilation will do, a dry, clean eellar being a very suitable plaee. It must be free from dust or smells,' and "the best temperature,,say 60 to 65 deg., ie-more often found in a eellar than elsewhere on the farm, in the summer-time. If the temperature is higher the eheese is apt to drain too quickly,, while on the. other hand,-if it is too eold, the eheese"may uot drain quickly enough and may have a bitter flavor. _ , . c Sweet, clean,- whole milk-should be used, as' sour 'milk makes a harsh, dry cheese, and skim milk makes a cheese that is hard and dry"and unpalatable. Rennet may be used either in the liquid ct tablet form. The latter is generally more convenient, and, as a soft-curd is wanted, a little less rennet may be used than -is required for junket., Only'.pure, dry' fine*salt should be used. Wooden tubs are best for setting the milk in, as they maintain a. more even temperature than metal vessels do, and this is important not only on account of- the faet that a falling temperature means a rising of eream to the top, but it also means a eurd tuat will not drain well; .---���������������������������--*'- " " - - - - A table with a sloping surface is best as it -facilitates -drainage, when the cheese;is placed upon it.. Moulds for making the-eheese should be made of tin, in two pieces to facilitate'turning the cheese. They should be 5% in. in diameter, and 5, in. in height. They cost about thirty-five cents each. When made, the cheese is laid on boards, or straw mats,'and no_pressure given it. The mats are placed on the boards, and the moulds-into which the curd" is laid are placed on them, and each board with its mat on ..top holds two moulds. If straw mats are not available or it is too much trouble to make them, a double fold of coarse open inen will do. The following is the method of making tno cheese: _ Rc_qujxe_me_nts__f or_. two_chee_se_:_l_gal., new milk.' Fifteen drops rennet extract. ] oz. pure dairy salt. 1. Strain the milk into a eloan pail or other suitable vessel. 2. Get the milk to a temperature of 80 deg. Fahr. 3. Dilute the Tennet with about tei times its bulk of water, in order to ge< it evenly mixed and more easily dih tributed. Add it to the milk and sti> gently to bottom of the pail for thre> minutes.- ' - -- 4. Cover the pail with a clean clot) in order to retain heat. Four folds ol butter muslin will do nicely. If th' temperature of the room is low, it v advisable to set tho vessel containing the milk in another containing wate two degrees higher in temperature thai the milk. If the temperature of th������������������ Abbey's Ar-soft answer turneth away wrath, and a little of Abkey's Sill sweetens a aour stomach. 25c and 60c Sold everjnrhere. water falls below 80 deg. Fahr., a littW warm water may be added to it; 60 t# 65 deg. Fahr. is the beet room temper-, ature. 5. Stir the surface of the milk gently with the end of the thermometer to keea the cream from rifling. Do this ever* ten minutes ot so for the,., first half- hour. Do not stir .after the milk ha������������������ begun to coagulate. 6. Lay the board with the straw ma������������������r on it and the two moulds with collar*, where they can drain undisturbed,in a* even a temperature and as free ;fro������������������- draughts as possible. The time the curl takes'in draining^will-depend to a coa- , eiderabie extent on the temperature ol the room and on tbe manner in which ���������������������������. the curd is ladled. If the temperaturt - falls much below 60 deg. Fahr. the curl ��������������������������� will take too long to drain and may have a bitter flavor. If kept at,toe high a temperature, or if ladled"roughly, there will be a lose of fat and the result will be dry, harsh eheese. II,, ladled in thin Briees, ft will drain more: quickly than if ladled in thick slice*. When a nice soft eoagahun is formed, ' whieh ought to be in from two to three - hours, take out a.large ladleful of curl.' and set It aside to form smooth topf for the cheese. Then gently ladle the . rest of the eurd into tire moulds in this ' sftees, putting on last of all the curl < 'from the ladleful whieh was set asida If the tine do not hold aM the curd.fc, ?��������������������������� begin with, the remainder may be added,. 68 soon as that in tbe tins has, sunt < sufleieatly. --* \'V.'!;' 7.

A meeting of the Enderby Board of ; Trade was held in the City Hall last i Saturday evening. The attendance j was not as large as it should have 'been, in view of the excellent work in [the interest' of Enderby District which the Board is doing. Only a few of the business houses were represented. No doubt this was due to the fact that all of our business houses are open for business on Saturday evenings. President Ruttan being absent on a visit to the Coast on municipal business, Mr. Graham Rosoman was elected to take the chair. The advertising committee submitted its report, suggesting a plan to he carried out this year to advertise the resources and advantages of the j district. The committee, recognizing j the position of the present City j Council in the matter of funds, sub- j mitted the most economical plan of 'publicity its members could evolve, i and asked that the sum of $330 be | expended in the manner set forth; j which included the publication of a j booklet on the resources of the dis- j trict, and also a plan for getting the i books in general circulation. |v The plan submitted by the commit- ;tee was adopted by the Board, and _^ _ i the whole matter referred to the spe- lx.an������������������feS������������������ JUitCe lcial committee appointed at a pre- T , -i -i j ' A i it vious meeting to go before the City I have added a standard line j.0ouncil and request a donation to Of these gOOds and am pre- ! carry out the work proposed. pared tO qUOte yOU prices. j_ Mr. W.
